I like this! the price is not to bad either! If I was going to buy one of the two it would be a very togh decsion! I dont like the screen on the other one though, I like the idea but the font is kinda cheesy.

oh iH52, I think I am in love.. if it was a normal clock radio like the iH5, but with the extra speakers and sub… drool. Price is great too!

I’d really like to hear what other improvements the IH7 is going to have.

I have the original iHome clock radio. If they’re improving on it, they ought to take a crack at letting the owner control the wake volume. Currently, it has a “gentle” increase that goes from quiet to max in a hurry. I have to beg my husband to let me keep it despite the days it scares the daylights out of him.

Can the iH7’s backlight be adjusted? or turned off?

i emailed the company asking if a new version of the iHome was forthcoming, one which fixed the horrendous “gentle” wake feature. I sill have not heard back from them.

Let’s hope that one of iLuv’s new products or this new iHome provide those of us who enjoy waking up to music with a proper option.

I currently use my iMac (w/ iCal and iTunes) but i’d rather let it sleep.

now this I like… a normal, attractive shelf sysmtem with some satilites and a sub. Though I have no idea how it will sound i like the look. To bad im to poor for such things… but at least this price isn’t ridiculous. I think one thing that would be cool is if the the dock part was a speaker too… get a little 3.1 action going on.

I just received the iLuv i177 alarm clock yesterday and I love it! I bought the iLuv instead of the iHome because the iLuv has dual alarms (for me and my wife) and came with a remote. Turns out it has a usb port for my shuffle as well as the iPod port for other models. It’s pretty cool! That’s cool that iHome is improving its alarm clock.

Am I the only one who fails to see the point of the asymetrical third speaker on the iH7?

I don’t understand the 3rd speaker on the ihome either.  Someone please explain why this is a good thing.

i will clear up the extra speaker i under stand whats it for…it is so your ihome doest have to be right next to your bed you can have it on the other side of the room and have it wake up with with the speaker near you…i wish mine had this cuz my night stand is low and would like to put it on my desk to have it sound better but then the volume would have to be higher to let me hear it…hope that helps

hi Michael - could you post your comments on the iLuv? Is the wake volume user adjustable? Does it switch to the buzzer if the iPod track you select for Wake is too quiet?

By the way, there is nothing in the article about iHome improving the alarm clock, just adding another speaker. What are you referring to?

i have the iHome in white i just got it two days ago. [i didnt know there was or see the black one]. and i LOVE it!. its amazing the sound. but mine didnt come with the extra speaker. it works great with my 5G iPod but not so good with the rubber case thats on my iPod. Plus mine didn’t come with the extra subwoofer i don’t know why. i guess this is a newer model?

I think the 3rd speaker is useless

Looks like this could be like the sonos. If that were the case it will be really cool.

Do you have any idea how a 3rd Generation I Pod Nano hooks up to the IH52 & to the TV to watch movies/Photo’s/Music Video’s or is this not possible?  Have the right cords-not sure if I am hooking up wrong-nothing shows on the screen.
